Dusty Rhodes and the River Band
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dusty Rhodes and the River Band is a six piece indie rock group from Anaheim, California. They are heavily influenced by the folk rock sounds of The Band, the orchestration and production techniques of Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, and the progressive rock energy of groups like Yes.
In late 2007, the band signed with SideOneDummy Records. Their first full length album First You Live, produced by Mars Volta keyboardist Isaiah "Ikey" Owens was released October 2, 2007.
In December 2007, The Orange County Register named "First You Live" the best album to come out of Orange County in 2007. [1]
The band has toured and played with national acts like Dirty Pretty Things (band), Brand New, Gogol Bordello, Blind Melon, Flogging Molly, Jonny Lang, Los Lobos, Mofro, Shooter Jennings and many more.
